| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function builds a set of character tables for character values less than |
| 256. These can be passed to \fBpcre_compile()\fP to override PCRE's internal, |
| built-in tables (which were made by \fBpcre_maketables()\fP when PCRE was |
| compiled). You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale. |
| The function yields a pointer to the tables. |
